About Melissa

Hi, I'm Melissa. I am a fully qualified and internationally experienced English and ESOL specialist with over 20 years of teaching and tutoring experience across New Zealand, South Africa, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and I am a fully registered teacher in New Zealand. I have taught across secondary schools, universities, private tutoring centers, and adult ESL programs, working with students from primary level through to university and adult professionals. I have a strong background in NCEA, Cambridge, and IB English, academic writing, exam preparation, and confidence-building for non-native speakers.

I now work one-to-one, where I can tailor lessons to each student’s needs, pace, and goals. My teaching style is calm, structured, and encouraging - ideal for students who want clarity, progress, and a supportive learning environment.

I work especially well with:
Adult learners
Teenagers
Primary school students
Migrants and international students
Learners who feel anxious or “stuck” with English

I tutor on weekday evenings & have limited daytime availability (NZ time). Exact times are by arrangement.

I work patiently and thoughtfully, supporting learners not just academically, but in how they feel about learning.

My Teaching Style
I believe students learn best when they feel:
Safe to ask questions
Clearly guided
Supported without pressure

I explain concepts simply, check understanding regularly, and adjust lessons based on what actually helps you improve - not one-size-fits-all worksheets.

Progress is steady, realistic, and measurable.
